Potential drug–drug interactions between antiretroviral therapy and treatment regimens for multi-drug resistant tuberculosis: Implications for HIV care of MDR-TB co-infected individuals

HIV-positive TB co-infected patients are at increased risk of multidrug-resistant (MDR)-TB compared to HIV-negative patients. Co-treatment of MDR-TB and HIV is common particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa where the co-morbidity is endemic. We discuss potential cellular metabolic pathway–mediated drug–d...

Sumario:HIV-positive TB co-infected patients are at increased risk of multidrug-resistant (MDR)-TB compared to HIV-negative patients. Co-treatment of MDR-TB and HIV is common particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa where the co-morbidity is endemic. We discuss potential cellular metabolic pathway–mediated drug–drug interactions and the possible effect on HIV treatment outcomes of commonly prescribed antiretroviral therapy.
